TROY -- The deadly stabbing at a Lansingburgh housing complex Monday was a robbery gone bad, according to police, and despite two arrests in the case, questions remain unanswered in the ongoing investigation.

In a press conference at Troy police headquarters late Tuesday morning, city officials updated the media on the arrest of two suspects in the case, Keith Furgeson, 17, and Ahziarh Carter, 16, in Monday's deadly slaying of Takim Smith, 21, at Corliss Park Apartments.

"We do have some surveillance video, the Troy Housing Authority has come forward to us," McAvoy said. "We've reviewed some of those tapes; there is some evidence on those tapes."

Sources with knowledge of the investigation revealed police are widening their investigation based on that evidence.

Troy Housing Authority Board Chairman Jay Vandenburgh said he had no direct knowledge of what the surveillance recordings showed, but was pleased they were key to making the arrest.

"It was (Troy Housing Authority executive secretary) Danny Crawley's idea a year ago to put those cameras in," Vandenburgh said. "It was just good to see Dan's idea pay off."

Police who responded to the call of a stabbing Monday discovered a grisly murder scene in building 19, where they say a robbery attempt turned deadly.

"Our patrols arrived to find a young man inside the apartment bleeding profusely from several wounds to his torso," McAvoy said, praising the quick response from Troy Fire Department and paramedics who tried in vain to save Smith's life.

The 21-year-old Smith, a college student from Albany, was reportedly at the Lansingburgh apartment with three others whom police are still interviewing. McAvoy also confirmed that an infant was present at the scene but was unharmed.

Police officials would not comment on the identities of those in the apartment with Smith, how the two suspects came to know Smith was there, and whether or not he might have been lured to a robbery/ambush.

Though cops would confirm few details about the investigation, there have been reports that some evidence was recovered from a lot behind a Family Dollar store early Tuesday afternoon.

A police evidence team and a Troy Fire Department ladder truck were searching the roof of the discount store Tuesday afternoon, as well as the trash dumpster in the area behind the store near the scene of the slaying.

Among those with questions about the murder were Smith's relatives, some of whom were at the arraignment of the two suspects Tuesday morning.

A man identifying himself as Smith's grandfather told reporters that Smith was "a good kid," who was "never in trouble with the police.

The man said Smith was enrolled at Bryant and Stratton College in Albany where he was also employed.

McAvoy also confirmed that Smith recently received a $62,000.00 legal settlement police believe was connected to the motive for the robbery.
